How has the importance of the mass media changed in our society over the last several generations?

 have had quicker access to other forms of communication such as news or weather alerts, which has also helped to improve and elongate lives within our society such as victims of hurricanes and tornadoes have had less of a number than in previous years. Also the uprising of news has also sparked a number of fake news, which leads people to panic and worry. Also, the number of social media sites have changed how we speak to each other, also causing a new form of bullying. So as you can see there are positive and negative turns on the new growth in mass media. Hope this helped!

Thanks!
